FG unhappy at reporting on party’s ‘demise’

FINE GAEL’s top brass believe the party gets a raw deal from the media with a constant focus on its disastrous 2002 general election.

The party is hoping to assert itself as an alternative to the Government at the FG Árd Fheis this weekend and show it has recovered from that enormous setback.

According to senior party sources, media reports regularly refer to the decline of FG’s fortunes, yet it is still the second-largest party by a long margin.
